Epigenetic modification and inheritance in sexual reversal of fish.
Environmental sex determination (ESD) occurs in divergent, phylogenetically unrelated taxa, and in some species, co-occurs with genetic sex determination (GSD) mechanisms. Although epigenetic regulation in response to environmental effects has long been proposed to be associated with ESD, a systemic analysis on epigenetic regulation of ESD is still lacking. Using half-smooth tongue sole (Cynogl...
متن کاملMechanisms of epigenetic inheritance.
The mechanisms by which stable gene expression patterns are inherited during cell division are not well understood. Chromatin is subject to a number of covalent modifications and it is generally believed that the transfer of these modifications between cell generations plays a critical role in inheritance, though how this occurs is a matter of debate. In one proposed model, replication of chrom...
متن کاملEpigenetic inheritance of centromeres.
Centromeres of higher eukaryotes are epigenetically maintained; however, the mechanism that underlies centromere inheritance is unknown. Centromere identity and inheritance require the assembly of nucleosomes containing the CenH3 histone variant in place of canonical H3. Work from our laboratory has led to the proposal that epigenetic inheritance of centromeres evolved as adaptations of CenH3 a...
متن کاملEpigenetic inheritance in the mouse
Acquired epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation or stable chromatin structures, are not normally thought to be inherited through the germline to future generations in mammals [1] [2]. Studies in the mouse have shown that specific manipulations of early embryos, such as nuclear transplantation, can result in altered patterns of gene expression and induce phenotypic alterations at late...
